    pear and goat cheese pizza flatbread topped with caramelized onions, ham and cheddar

    At this moment, I am in love with pear recipes! This pear and goat cheese pizza has the perfect balance of savory and sweet. In addition to pear, this goat cheese pizza has caramelized red onions, ham, garlic and cheddar.

    Dough for flatbread pizza

    For this recipe, I use 365 pizza dough in a can. It’s the Whole Foods version of Pillsbury pizza dough. The dough is light and almost pastry-like.

    You can also make this flatbread recipe on regular store bought pizza dough.

    Using frozen dough? See this guide to frozen premade pizza crust and this recipe for Whole Foods BBQ chicken pizza.

    Goat cheese options

    I love Cypress Groves goat cheese for pizza. It comes in a block and is easy to crumble.

    Don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavors like honey goat cheese and truffle goat cheese. Buy goat cheese in a block, on a log, or crumbled. Gorgonzola also tastes great on a pear flatbread.

    This pizza has become a crowd pleaser for game day at my house. It stands out in a sea of nachos, wings and buffalo cauliflower bites.

    Instead of a standard cheese board, this pear and goat cheese pizza is a very unexpected holiday appetizer. Serve it at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, you name it.

    Once pears are out of season, you can use apples, cherries and other seasonal fruits in this flatbread pizza recipe. Your “never turning down a slice of pizza” blogger bud, Jenna.

    Ingredients

    Caramelized onions

    • 1 red onion sliced
    • 1 tbsp garlic
    • 2 tbsp oil
    • 2 tbsp red wine
    • 2 tbsp oil divided in half

    Pizza

    • 1 packaged dough
    • 1 tbsp garlic
    • 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
    • ½ cup ham diced
    • ½ pear sliced
    • ⅔ cup goat cheese crumbled
    • 2 tbsp parsley

    Instructions

    • Make caramelized onions. Add onion, garlic, and oil to a pan on medium heat and stir regularly until brown, about 10 minutes. Drizzle more oil if the onions stick to the pan. Add wine, reduce to medium-low and cook until the wine is fully absorbed into the onions.
    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees, or as instructed on dough package. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil in a sheet pan and spread out the dough on top. Cook the dough plain for 8 minutes.
    • Add toppings to pizza, starting with 1 tbsp olive oil and garlic. Add ½ of the cheddar cheese, ham, pear, caramelized onions and goat cheese. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and bake for 8 minutes, or until cheese melts.
    • Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

      Looks really good. And I love that once pears are out of season, it is possible to sub with other fruit too. I’m sure it will taste just as good with apples!5 stars

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
